Think it's the right chap - he was a labourer when he enlisted. Discharged medically unfit due to bad bronchitis so seems to tie in.

Will send pages by pm to Helen.

thanks everyone yes that's the right family. hewas christened 22 Apr 1832 so no idea why his age is out but it's def him! MarieCeleste where did you find this? is there anything else that survives?
thanks for all the help xxxxxx

Not sure it is easy to find Crimean records...I had an ancestor's husband who died in Scutari - there are no military records but I found a website which was newspaper records of deaths.

So as Charles obviously survived - if he was in the Crimean - I'm not sure there are any records to be found

oooohhhhhh thanks!!!! xxxxx

thanks Marie for the images xxxxxx

Medal Rolls for the Crimean Medal are on Ancestry. Can't see a Charles Hall of Grenadier Guards on it, though.

There may well be Muster Rolls for his Regiment at the National Archives- not online though. You'd have to go there or get someone to go for you.

As the Guards Regiments keep a lot of their own records, there might be something at Wellington Barracks. Here are the contact details
